Celebrated artist and Fall Out Boy, bassist and lyricist, Pete Wentz will sign copies of band’s new comic book series, FOB Presents Fall Out Toy Works on Tuesday, September 1st at a special midnight signing session at Meltdown Comics on 7522 Sunset Boulevard. The result of an extraordinary combination of creative minds, Fall Out Toy Works is an anthology loosely based on the Fall Out Boy song “Tiffany Blews” from the band’s current multi-platinum CD Folie Ã Deux.

Wentz, a huge comic book aficionado, will personally deliver the first 100 issues to the store and be on hand to meet fans and sign copies of the first edition in the series, along with the co-creator, LA based designer Darren Romanelli and Nathan Cabrera.

The five issue, miniseries was envisioned by Wentz and Romanelli, penned by acclaimed writer Brett Lewis (Bulletproof Monk), brought to life with art by Sam Basri of Imaginary Friends Studios, and in partnership with Jeff Krelitz of Double Barrel Motion Labs. The story follows the complex relationship between the creator, The Toymaker, and the created, the android Tiffany, who embark on a turbulent ride in a world of unscrupulous characters and sinister plans to find the true meaning of life and love.
